Hey thanks for stoppin' Are you headed down to Cairo?
I wrecked my Lincoln in Saint Jo
Why to little old Cairo? No special reason
Look up some folks I used to know

Me I travel some Have my share of fun
Now that's a life a man can live
Sure I've played and lost But who minds the cost
You got to take more than you give

Hey you got another cigar? Son I sure like this car
Oh from your daddy as a gift Say on second thought
There's gifts I haven't bought Just drop me here
Thanks for the lift

Never have a dime for gin Left to make my way
Told her I can't stay To see my children poor as sin

I know this road It leads straight into Cairo
Twenty-two miles straight ahead
I can't I can't walk down this road to Cairo
They're better thinkin' I'm dead

I been travellin' Gone a long long time
Don't know what I'd find Scared of what I'd find
I can't I just can't walk down this road.
